Sharleen, thanks for the interesting article. We also only have ruby throated hummers but one year a rufous hummer must have gotten carried in on a storm and stayed all summer. It is slightly larger than a ruby and ruled the roost, so to speak. We have never had one since then. That one year there were several sighting of rufous'es in TN.
